Write the set of real numbers in interval notation. {x | x ≥ −8}

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vikentia [17]3 years ago
8 0
The answer is: [-8, \infty)

Which can be written as: [-8, infinity) 

This is the interval from -8 to infinity. So -8 is our left most point on the number line and infinity being our right most. There is no boundary on the right side.

Note how the left side has a square bracket and the right side has a curved parenthesis. This isn't a typo. The square bracket tells the reader "include the endpoint -8 as part of the solution set". The parenthesis tells the reader "do NOT include the endpoint infinity as part of the solution set". 

Rule: infinity and negative infinity is always paired with a parenthesis because these aren't numbers. It's impossible to reach infinity, therefore it's impossible to include it in the set of values. If you could include it, then that implies you ran out of numbers.

Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel are among 13 students who entered a lottery to win a free vacation to Paris.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

0.0014 = 0.14% probability that Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel will be chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the students are chosen is not important, so the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes:

4 students from a set of 4(Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel). So

D = C_{4,4} = \frac{4!}{4!(4-4)!} = 1

Total outcomes:

4 students from a set of 13(number of students in the lottery). So

T = C_{13,4} = \frac{13!}{4!(13-4)!} = 715

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{715} = 0.0014

0.0014 = 0.14% probability that Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel will be chosen.
